Tencent is “stirring” to launch a new Teamfight Tactics game
That’s right, readers are not mistaken as Tencent is even preparing to conduct a trial run of this game project in the Chinese market in the coming days. It is known that the new game is called King’s Chess – the exclusive “Teamfight Tactics” mode of the “MOBA king” Honor of Kings.
King’s Chess is said to combine automatic chess style with in-depth strategic elements, similar to the recently launched Magic Chess: Go Go by MOONTON Games. The unique feature of King’s Chess is that characters from Honor of Kings will appear in adorable Chibi versions, accompanied by unique skill sets and synergy effects, allowing players to create diverse battle formations.
In fact, the idea for King’s Chess has been in Tencent’s mind for quite a while. This game project was first announced in November 2022, however, it has only been opened for limited trial registration at this point.
What’s special about Tencent’s version of “Teamfight Tactics”?
An interesting point is that unlike the majority of other tactical chess games on the market, King’s Chess has also created a highly competitive play mode, called the 100-player mode. Unlike the traditional 8-player mode, this mode features a faster elimination mechanism due to the low initial health, resulting in intense and dramatic matches.
It can be seen that although the tactical chess game genre is no longer new, what Tencent is introducing is still highly anticipated. Hopefully, with strong investment, innovative gameplay, and the diverse storyline of the Honor of Kings IP, King’s Chess will make a strong impression upon its release.
